Projects
GLSL Path Tracer
Biased Path Tracer based on GLSL to render on screen in realtime.
It is possible to save an image to disk.
parrlib
parrlib is a Free and Open Source C++/Windows exclusive framework that facilitates creating and developing graphics applications.parrlib builds a layer on top of existing graphics APIs and abstracts them into simpler and shorter functions that can be called in order to draw things on screen.currently, parrlib supports:-OpenGL-DX11-software renderer (incomplete)parrlib uses a structure of backends to communicate with graphics APIs. backends are .dll files used to interface with the target graphics driver; a specific backend is loaded at startup dinamically based on user request.
parrlib supports window resizing natively & features a debug menu that lets you set various settings about anti-aliasing, pixel filtering techniques and FPS limiters.
About
I was born in Rome and now I live near Turin, Italy.
In my spare time I like skiing and dancing (& I hope eventually to get into flying drones, too many things to do at once!).
